Work Smarter: Save 16+ Hours Monthly with a DIY Video Studio

Producing professional videos shouldn’t feel like a chore, but for Andrew Zbik of Creation Wealth, it often did. Between setting up equipment, recording, and editing, even a simple video could take hours.

Since partnering with Ridge Films in 2021, Andrew has transformed his video production process. The DIY studio has not only saved him significant time but also elevated how he communicates with clients, ensures compliance, and builds trust—all with ease.

Simplifying Video Production and Saving Time

Before adopting the DIY studio, Andrew’s video workflow was tedious and time-consuming.

“I used to waste three or four hours a day trying to do this myself,” he shared. Tasks like setting up tripods, adjusting lighting, and editing videos ate into valuable time he could have spent with clients.

Now, with the DIY studio:

• Setup Is Instant: “Flick a switch, press record, and you’re ready to go.”
• Recording Is Efficient: Pre-written scripts and a teleprompter keep messaging clear and concise.
• Editing Is Outsourced: Ridge Films handles post-production, delivering polished, client-ready videos.

“I would easily say this setup has saved me a day a month,” Andrew said. “I’m not a video editor—why should I waste my time trying to do it?”

Enhancing Professionalism and Compliance

For financial advisors, professionalism and compliance are critical. Andrew’s DIY studio setup ensures both.

“Compliance is now really paramount,” he explained. Andrew uses the studio to record statements of advice, providing clear, documented explanations for clients.

Key benefits include:

• Accountability: Videos track when clients watch and confirm understanding.
• Clarity: Professional lighting and sound eliminate distractions, focusing on the message.
• Trust: High-quality videos reflect Andrew’s commitment to delivering exceptional service.

“Clients often comment on how clear the videos are,” Andrew shared. “The sound, visuals, and messaging make it easy for them to follow along and trust the advice.”

Building Relationships and Improving Work-Life Balance

The studio hasn’t just improved Andrew’s client interactions—it’s also enhanced his work-life balance.

“With this setup, I can work from home two to three days a week and still maintain strong client connections,” he said. The flexibility has allowed him to spend more time with his young family while running a business remotely.

The professional-grade tools in the studio, such as the teleprompter, enable concise communication:

• Monthly Video Newsletters: Delivered with confidence and clarity.
• Virtual Meetings: Better eye contact and body language foster trust and engagement.
• Promotional Videos: Quick and effective, keeping clients informed and connected.

“This setup has opened up so many possibilities,” Andrew said. “I now use video more because it’s just so much easier to do.”

Andrew Zbik’s experience shows how a DIY studio can transform the way you communicate. From saving time and ensuring compliance to building trust and maintaining work-life balance, the benefits are undeniable.

If you’re ready to streamline your workflow, elevate your professionalism, and connect with clients like never before, Ridge Films’ DIY video studio could be the solution you’ve been waiting for.
